    Virgin Atlantic CEO: Premium Demand 'Insatiable' as 787 Refit Cuts Economy Seats

    Virgin Atlantic CEO Corneel Koster told Skift Global Forum that reconfiguring the fleet so premium seats nearly match economy is an investment, not a bet, calling premium demand 'insatiable' and saying the airline was 'underweight' in premium capacity for years. Refurbished 787 Dreamliners will cut economy from 192 to 127 seats while expanding premium. He cited UK-to-US demand up 7% year over year, corporate demand up 11% and cargo up 36%. Koster said the Delta partnership makes Virgin 'probably more Virgin than ever,' and warned that the UK sustainable aviation fuel mandate is rising while the fuel 'is just not available.'

    Hyatt Chairman, President and CEO Mark Hoplamazian said at Skift Global Forum that Hyatt has been the largest owner of its own hotels for 67 of its 70 years, shaping a different set of decisions. He said Hyatt replaced four core systems at once — central reservations, property management, revenue management and point-of-sale — delivering 40% savings on the property management system, with Hyatt absorbing the entire cost and passing none to owners. He also said Hyatt's leisure mix rose from about 35% in 2017 to closer to 55% by 2025, driven in part by the $2.7 billion acquisition of Apple Leisure Group during COVID.

    Brazil's ANAC publishes AVSEC practices manual for cabin crew

    Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) published the Civil Aviation Manual for Cabin Crew, aimed at guiding airlines and airport operators on civil aviation security (AVSEC) requirements applicable to cabin departments. It provides explanations, examples and commentary on ANAC regulations covering onboard provisions and cabin service, and compiles the applicable regulations in its appendices. Because it contains Restricted AVSEC Information (IRA), the manual is not publicly accessible; under the need-to-know principle, access requires specific ANAC authorization, and the agency sends it directly to air and airport operators.

    Skift-McKinsey Study: Travel Booking Journey Shifts From Linear to Orbital

    Skift and McKinsey's seventh annual research collaboration, based on a study of 1,000 consumers and traveler diaries, found the booking journey has transformed from a linear path to an orbit that expands, contracts, and continues well past the transaction.

    Skift Forum: Premiumization Should Be Structural Strategy, Not a Product Upgrade

    At Skift Global Forum, Air Canada Chief Commercial Officer Mark Galardo and ZS Managing Partner Kunal Shah said premiumization should be a structural company strategy rather than layered on top of existing operations. Galardo said premium revenue share at Air Canada grew from about 20% a decade ago to 30% today, with a target of 35% by end of decade. Shah said the industry too often equates premium with upscale, but midscale and economy properties can also capture value through pricing and personalization, and premium travelers prefer digital-first experiences. Galardo said premium demand is directly correlated to the health of the economy and strength of equity markets, and warned against…
